These girls are little less than two weeks into flower. Using hydroponics fertilizers.. using half strength nutes. In all coco coir and 10%of perlite mix. Under 300 watt LED. Ph between 6 and 6.5. Watering every 2 to 3 days. I noticed I had a bug issue when I first transplanted bc the root hairs were pretty stripped. I had thrips and gnats. Dont see many gnats anymore and havnt seen the thrips but they are hard to see and get rid of so I'm not sure. I treated with neem oil spray. Soap spray..and did a spinosad drench as well about a week ago. Also used some DE. Bottom leaves are dying and falling off or turning yellow and tops are turning yellow fast. The tops have turned yellow within the last 3 or 4 days and the branches are pretty flimsy. Overall I'm not sure if I should start over or if I will get anything out of these plants.

Those lady’s actually look pretty good bro, don’t start over they deserve to live. Make sure your bucket drains well, keep using neem and insecticidal soap and possibly up the nutes and maybe incorporate a broader spectrum of micro and macro nutrients, because coco has nothing to give the plants and they’re relying solely on what you give them. I’ve never used coco or had to flush medium and never only used liquid ferts personally so take everything I say with a pinch of salt, but my gut feeling says possibly low ph, possibly salt build up and your ladies are just starting to not get everything they need. Good luck homie

Leaves on bottom usually die off quick in flower if not getting enough light, best to clean it up on bottoms anyways. Looks healthy to me. Few leaves on bottom, meh pretty minor.

Also get good air flowing over your bottoms will help.

Plus you can drill small holes for string to go through top of pot to avoid using the tape.

That's what I've been doing.. just continuing the hydrogen peroxide sprays and drenches every third watering. It's really helping to keep the bugs away. All these expensive harmful products and hydrogen peroxide has been the best for bugs over the last 3 grows.. this will prob be my last coco grow for a while I want to experiment with natural fats next grow. Ph is on point. I also raised the nutes like u suggested and it's working great. Thanks man!!

Some PM as well? What's your RH set at?

It's not PM. Its DE (diatomacious earth) I put it in my hand and blew it over the leaves of the plant bc I had a bug issue. I was wondering if I had a little PM tho I couldn't really tell with the DE on it bc it looks the same once it settles. I'll take another pic to post
